First Dissciative Table with T - went really well!

hello there,

We had our first Dissociative Table Technique session with guided imagery!!

We were so worries about it and i was really worries that i wouldnt be able to let the other come through but YAY!!! We did it.

It was so exsausting. Our T recorded it which will be really intersting to hear back lol.

I couldnt stop twitching because i was trying to stop them talking but i litually had no control... first time i have lost control and been able to remember it all!

We went to our safe place that we all have family meetings in together at night but we built a log cabin next to it just for the mettings with lizzy.

She guided me there and i took some time to get in the zone by myself and then she invited the other parts of me to the table who would like to talk with her. She said we was going to pass a polishes stone, big enough to fit in the hand but light around the table to those who wanted to talk.

All i could see was all these hands trying to get me to pass the stone to them...

I changed to teenage me first....which aws scary because she is very angry but i forgot how polite i used to be back then! Yes i swore alot but i was polite inbetween. All though i did say she was a pian in the arse

Then i changed to little river and she just wanted to clap and say thank you to our T and then she started to hide bcause junior came out and junior is very scared of things but our T was so loverly to them . really gentle and caring!

Then came Sam.....sam is who i lose the most time to and i was really scared about what he was going to say because he talks about sex alot and always just wants sex!! but in fact he spoke about me and how i need to go easier on myself then he wouldnt have take control so much amnd that i think i am a freak. So she asked to put it to a vote. She asked everyone at the table to put there hands up if they thought i was NOT a freak adn everyone including me put my hand up., So the T said there, so it is confirmed big river can not longer call herself afreak!!


Next was Jake..... used to be called bu;lldog. He is a protector and sticks up for me and the wife. I was worried because we have only just started talking to each other and i very much misunderstood his intentions. It was nice to hear from him.

Then back to me...... my t steped me backwards out of the imagery thingy and i just couldnt get myself back to me ONE it took me a couple minutes and then i couldnt remember much but over time i have started to remember things , which has really helped.

I am so proud of me and everyone. My T really enjoyed herself as well which is great. She also gave me a virtual pat on the shoulder for inbracing the ego state thearpy and thigns so much. She said she couldnt imagine anyone doing more than i have and that she was going to help me become to bionic woman! Not perfect because thats hard for anyone but supurbe was where she waqs aiming. She said when we have interegrated all these possitive aspects of all these parts of you there will be no stopping me.

I was surprised Sam really wanted to intergrate...but only with me! Little dose not because hse has so much fun and we are not! Junior wants to because then he can be cuddled and huged all the time by everyone. Teenage me is just to distraught to think about it and Jake justs wants what is best though he may not be sure what that is!"

Any how, we are going to go round the rest of the table next week.....

Am actually really looking forward to it....except the physical pain after..... that twitching takes it out of us! My T said that she wished she had a video camera not a voice recorder! lol... im just glad she was far enough away because i was slinging my arms about some.


Any how, just wanted to tell people how it went and maybe give others a bit more confidence if they every try it.

River and company.

River et co, I'm happy for you too. I read the article on The Dissociative Table Technique and found ir really interesting.

I've even identified the ISH of a friend.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Wish you the best for your next session.

Wow, River, that is remarkable! You are doing the work--whoo boy, it's working! Way to go to all of you. Wishing you much ongoing success and healing.

We're pleased for you

Congrats! You are well on your way. Keep up the good work! X

River et al,
Thanks so much for sharing. I am so glad things went so well for you all. May I ask how long you've been with this T?

My T and I are exploring working with this model or one similar, sort of laying the ground work so to speak. I've been with her for six months though had to incompetent T's before her spanning a year and a half so it has been a slow process to get parts on board to work with this T after the first couple T's. It feels like a daunting process to me currently because my parts won't even show up with "I" try to schedule a time with them. Hard to think they'll come when T's present. But I could be wrong. Many of them come to T, and participate, but use me as their mask so other than minute changes in posture, mannerisms, or speed of voice, T is still unaware of who is actually there.

Again, thanks so much for sharing. This is very encouraging.

I'm so happy for you! It seems like you're making great progress. How wonderful
